Made another round through Dixie Square Mall Saturday, some friends of mine wanted to see it.

"Shipping Damage" -- This was the package pickup area of Penneys
Seems like Penneys is really going for the "open-air" shopping experience.
Most of what you see here occurred this past year, and most of it after the winter time. By summer I'm sure more will collapse.
Shoe department
Walgreens pharmacy area which was not remodeled as Toys R Us for The Blues Brothers
Hell in a Cell
Dixie's life in a nutshell; Is it Fair? Will it Build Better?
Egg Foo Young... found in the back of Rorry's Womens Apparel
Rack
Restaurant of Beautiful Things
Sign (sled?) from Polk Brothers; a long-gone electronics and appliance retailer.
Careful with that Axe, Eugene -- One of the oddest finds of the day was a recently-placed axe in front of the now-collapsed Thom McAn storefront.
Steel Jungle
Ladies stockroom in Turnstyle. Above it is the office area, which has recently had the shit tagged out of it.
"Christ-Chair"
This little workshop is hidden above a hallway going from Block C to the service court. The floor creaked badly as I walked across it, and the stairs were held on by hinges.
"Night Bars, Guitars, Run-down Motels like Shacks" -- City Life Disco
The "Frozen Foods" sign in Jewel has now completely vanished. Jewel seems to have been hit by vandalism recently as some of the plywood covering up the windows has been knocked down, and the old customer service counter has been smashed up badly.
This is the damage caused by the fire last July. The collapse occurred about a month after the fire.
"Blowout Sales" -- Everything must go! Down to literally the bare walls!
I should now mention it was I believe under the 10-degree mark all day. The mall was completely iced over and we were sliding all over the place. Plenty of close calls but no falls.
